Re: track paint

I read somewhere in the MAGracing Forum that some people have used Plasti Dip spray paint. I bought the grey color - which ended up looking much darker.

Re: Trackmate questions...

Hello franjy! I bought Trackmate and I have installed it in my track layout (see the Track Building Section - Stow Away Tables!) I am still building my track but I did build a short test section with the sensors - just to understand its operation. Here is what I discovered: 1. When each car crosses ...

Re: Stow Away Tables!

BTW - the icons look OK on my computer tonight - but some of the older pictures don't - but when I shared the forum with a friend at work - on his computer and mine - the older pictures were OK. I'm no...

I need to get back to my track - I spent this past weekend putting up decorations, for C...
